Adjust the paper length and width guides as shown. 3. Flex the sheets back and forth and fan them, then align the edges of the stack on a level surface.
Paper and Media 4. Load paper into the tray with the print side face up. − Load hole-punched paper with the holes to the left. − For 1-sided printing, load letterhead paper face up with the top of the paper toward the back of the tray. − For 2-sided printing, load letterhead and pre-printed paper face down with the top edge going into the printer. Note: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling the tray can cause the printer to jam. 5.
Paper and Media Notes: • 7. If the tray does not go all the way in, ensure that the paper lift at the back of the tray is locked down. • To avoid paper jams, do not remove the paper cover while printing is in progress. • If the tray is extended for legal-size paper, the tray protrudes when it is inserted into the printer. • To confirm the same paper size, type, or color, touch OK. • To select a new paper size, type or color, touch the current setting, then select a new setting.
Paper and Media Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray The Bypass Tray supports the widest variety of media types. It is intended primarily for small-quantity jobs that use special media. To load paper in the bypass tray: 1. Open the bypass tray. If the bypass tray is loaded with paper already, remove any paper that is a different size or type. 2. 3. Pull out the extension tray for larger sizes. Move the width guides to the edges of the tray. 4.
Paper and Media 5. Load the paper in the tray. Load hole-punched paper with the holes to the left. − For 1-sided printing, load letterhead or pre-printed paper face up with the top edge going into the printer. − For 2-sided printing, load letterhead and pre-printed paper face down with the top edge facing you. Note: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling the tray can cause the printer to jam.
Paper and Media 6. Adjust the width guides until they touch the edges of the paper. 7. If the control panel prompts you, verify the size, type, and color on the touch screen.
